Do you mean hosting your own yum repository in your own network? That
is not a bad idea but it would be easier to just copy the files over
to the puppets and then just rpm -ihv <package>, wouldn't it?

Another question in this context is: How can I install software (for
example RPMs) on all my puppets only on demand? Can you tell puppet to
install s.th. right "now"?
